The Writers' Table is a space for our After-School Homework Help students to work on their writing skills, both in fiction and nonfiction, as well as editing. After they finish their homework, students join our Writer in Residence, Ellen, for a different writing prompt each day, with plenty of options for exploration of their own interests and passions.
